At <br />the beginning of this fiscal year, construction had been completed <br />to the point that softened, filtered Colorado River water was being <br />delivered on a 60.day free basis to Pasadena from the upper <br />feeder; to Burbank, Beverly Hills, and Santa MOnica from the <br />Santa Monica feeder; and to Ascot Reservoir of the Los Angeles <br />city water system, to Compton, and after July 7, 1941 to Torrance, <br />from the Palos Verdes feeder and its systcm of laterals. Water <br />was llvailable to but not taken by Glendale and Long Beach during <br />the free period. Before the end of July 1941. the Orange County <br />feeder was completed and delivery of softened, filtered Colorado <br />River water on a 60-day free basis was begun to the cities of Ful- <br />lerton, Anaheim, and Santa Ana. <br /> <br />l <br />I <br /> <br />Cou",tructio1/. <br />The distribution system construction operations performed dur- <br />ing the early part of the fiscal year to complete the initial develop- <br />ment are describcd in the following paragraphs, <br /> <br />01"((>I[/e Comity feeder, Schedllle, 8.~P, S!iP, ami S6P <br />All construction work, except testing and clean-up, on the upper <br />section of the Orange County feeder, Schedule 34P, was completed <br />at the close of the previous fiscal year. Testing WllS finished on <br />July 14 and final clean-up two weeks later. On the next two sec- <br />tions of the feeder, Schedules 35P and 36P, the last 600 feet of <br />pipe were laid, the few remaining structures were completed, the <br />line was tested and backfilled, and clean-up was finished on July <br />28, 1941. Leakage on all schedules was 2 to 5 per cent of the <br />allowable 50 gallons per inch of diameter per mile of pipe per day. <br />Construction of all three schedules aggregating 99,843 feet of pipe <br />line was awarded as a single contract to the American Concrete <br />and Steel Pipc Company which in turn subcontracted the pipe line <br />in Schedule 34P to the United Concrete Pipe Corporation. The <br />costs and other data for the three schedules are given in tahle 13, <br />page 46. <br /> <br />[ 37 ] <br />
